Gun Discharged As Boy Examined It Causing His Death - Fifteen Year Old Joseph Lang Victim In Kitchener Home; Lived But Three Minutes

Boys Discussing Hunting - Joseph Lang, aged 15, of Esra Ave., Waterloo, was fatally shot last night about 8 o'clock at the home of W.C. Wiegandt, 60 Bingeman Street, when a rifle which he was examining suddenly discharged, the bullet taking a course from the left side just above his collar bone coming out on the opposite side. The lad lived only two or three minutes. Dr. McGregor was summoned but the boy was dead when he arrived. Coroner Kalbfleisch was also called. According to the story told the police young Lange was visiting at the Wiegandt home last evening. He was in the cellar with young Wiegandt aged 14 and apparently the two were discussing a hunting trip with which young Wiegandt had with his father Saturday afternoon. It is believed Lang asked to see the gun and the Wiegandt boy pointed to where the rifle was standing in a corner of the furnace cellar covered over by paper. The Lang boy went to the rifle and taking hold of it started to examine the gun when it exploded, the 22 caliber bullet with which it was loaded passing thru his neck and severing important blood vessels along the route it traveled. Young Lang dropped the gun and walked about eight feet to the cellar steps where he sat down and a moment later collapsed in death. Coroner Kalbfleisch stated he was satisfied the fatality was purely accidental after a thorough investigation. There will be no inquest. Brother Died Recently: (image ends here)

Flew Costly Cargo Across The Atlantic

July 7, 1945

A costly cargo, consisting of thousands of dollars worth of precious precision instruments, was flown across the Atlantic by PO. Don Rickert, who is now stopping with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Louis Armitage, 57 Henry St., and who is one of numerous young Canadians who can well visualize what is happening to Japan in these days of massed air raids.

For Don was one of those who took part in the 1,000-plane raid on Dortmund "and while we had just a short trip, and thus could really load up with bombs, it's not difficult to imagine the pounding the Japs are taking as the Americans step up the number of planes in these assaults."

SCANNING OPPORTUNITIES

Don, former pupil at Victoria School and K-W Collegiate, married a schoolmate, Helen Armitage, and they are now wondering what's his best move into the peacetime world -providing, of course, that he gets his discharge at the end of the present furlough. At the present time the 23-year-old flier is scanning the various educational opportunities offered Canada's servicemen, PO. Rickert, who enlisted in July, 1942, was commissioned in England, and, in Wellingtons and Lancasters managed to get in on 11 raids over enemy territory.

CAME VIA AZORES

While some people fly the Atlantic in a matter of hours, it took him two weeks from the time he left his English base until he got home, but therein lies a tale. He travelled by way of the Azores spending three days there, but, in addition to having a seven-man crew, he was also carrying two highly-trained technical personnel, and a load of valuable equipment.

This equipment has been flying the ocean for some weeks past now the big bombers being loaded with expensive equipment of every description. It is this material which the air force numbered before packing-the numeral designating the priority of the article in case the planes got into trouble and it was necessary to lighten the loads by Jettisoning some of the cargo. PO. Rickert, like most of his associates, would like to make a postwar career of flying, but realizes that for some time to come it will be an overcrowded profession.

Donald married Helen Mildred Armitage 1942. Helen (daughter of Private Louis Edward Armitage and Elizabeth "Betty" Schwantz) was born 30 Apr 1920, , Ontario, Canada; died 1999; was buried , Elmira Union Cemetery, Elmira, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Bob Shiry - 1934-2005 - "He must have been a gardener who cared a lot. Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop. And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed … a gardener like that one, no one can replace." Elton John, Empty Garden. Some people are remembered for what they've said, others for what they've done. While Dad definitely had a way with words, it's his actions - the way he lived his life with such integrity and optimism and joy that we will remember most. Robert Earl Frank Shiry was a good man. He lived for seventy years. He worked for the K-W Record for 45 years but is life was with his family, a loving and caring husband, dad and papa. His passing has left us - his wife, Marcy; children, Brenda (Tim), Bobby (Angela), and Deb (Mike); grandchildren,, Brooklyn, Satchel, Kristin, Bryn, Dylan, Jazz, Wes - with heavy hearts, but even now the sadness at time, gives way to profound jo0y for having had lived our lives with such a strong, gentle, hopeful, happy wonderful man. - Peace - Please join us as we laugh and cry and remember Dad during visitation at the Edward R.

Joan Elizabeth Donelle

Sunday, May 30th, 1937 - Tuesday, January 26th, 2021

Passed away peacefully on January 26th, 2021 at the age of 83. It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we said goodbye to our beautiful, courageous and strong mother.

We are grateful she is now with her greatest joy and love of her life, Gerry, who died October 2018. They were married for almost 63 years and raised five children together.

Sue and Jim Lessard of Magnetawan, Steve and Shelley Donelle of Woodstock, Gary Donelle and Christine DeChateauvert of Merrickville, Brenda and Kirk Anderson of Kitchener and Lynn and Mark Davison of Harrogate, England.

She was the loving Grandmother of 9 and Great Grandmother of 15. Joan will also be deeply missed by her siblings, Doug and Sandi Lang of Waterloo and Sally and the late Don Eley of Burlington.

Joan's quiet strength was a gift she did not recognize in herself. Her career working in the Liaison Office at WLU brought her the respect and recognition that she so deserved. She supported and guided many young students, and the relationships she forged were always dear to her heart.

We are grateful for her unconditional love and humbled by her courage and strength. It is impossible to put into words how deeply we will miss her.

Our thanks go out to the incredible nurses at the Freeport Palliative Care Unit. We are grateful for their empathy and the kind, loving care they gave to mom.

A private family celebration of Joan will be held at a later date.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to a charity dear to your heart would be appreciated by the family and can be arranged by calling the Henry Walser Funeral Home 519-749-8467.
